node-promised-redmine

Redmine REST API Client for node.js implemented with promises/A+

This was a modified version of the original redmine module by sotarok using D.js to implement it as a promises/A+ compatible api. But it has been largely rewrote since and is a totally different project now.

Features

• support both http / https protocols
• support basicAuth authentication
• compatible with promises/A+ through D.js
• simple api
• recursively retrieve issues until given date
• exponential backoff retries

Main methods

• Settings getter/setter

  • all setters return the Redmine instance and are chainable
  • (get|set)ApiKey(key) api key given by your redmine server
  • (get|set)Host(host) ip or hostname of the redmine api endpoint
  • (get|set)Port(port) set remote server port default to 80
  • (get|set)BasicAuth(auth) string used as auth option of the http request
  • (get|set)Protocol(protocol) http or https
  • (get|set)PathPrefix(prefix) path prefix to prepend to each request paths
  • (get|set)SslCaCert(certFilePath) path or array of path to authority certificates files to check the remote host against
  • (get|set)SslClientCert(certFilePath) path to public x509 certificate file to use
  • setSslClientKey(keyFilePath, passPhrase)* path to client private key file to use for SSL and associated passphrase
  • (get|set)MaxTry(maxTry) max number of retry on request error default to 1 (get|set)MaxDelay(maxDelay) max time in ms to wait between two retry on request error default to 2000 (get|set)Verbose(verbose) boolean value that turn on/off console.log on errors and retries. (default setting to false)

• Generics

  • all generic methods path doesn't require leading slash nor the .json extension e.g. for issues it can be "issues" or "issues/{id}"
  • get(path, params) get a single resource or a list or resources
  • getAllSince(what, since, params) helper to get all items of a collection since the given date (isoString or Date instance)
  • post(path, params) create a new resource on corresponding path
  • put(path, params) update a given resource with params
  • del(path, params) remove given resource

• Issues

  • getIssues(params) return list of issues (max 100)
  • getIssue(id) return an issue details by its id
  • getAllIssuesSince(since, params) return all issues since given date (isoString or Date instance)
  • postIssue(params) create a new issue
  • updateIssue(id, params) update issue with given id
  • deleteIssue(id) delete an issue by its id

• Users

  • getUsers(params) return list of users (max 100)
  • getUser(id) retrieve user details by its id
  • getUserCurrent() return current user (the one corresponding to the apiKey)

• Projects

  • getProjects(params) get a list of projects (max 100)
  • getProject(id) return details about a single project by its id
  • getAllProjectsSince(since, params) return all projects updated since given date (isoString or Date instance)

• Time Entries

  • getTimeEntries(params) returns a list of time entries
  • getTimeEntry(id) returns time entry of given id
  • postTimeEntry(params) returns time entry of given id
  • updateTimeEntry(id, params) update time entry corresponding to the given id
  • deleteTimeEntry(id) delete time entry of given id

• Wiki

  • getWiki(wikiUrl) returns wiki page

All request made can use a retry settings based on an exponential backoff algorithm. You can set thoose settings for all request using setMaxRetry and setMaxDelay methods, or on a request basis by passing a retry property to the params parameter. This retry property should be an object with one or two property of maxTry and maxDelay e.g. var params = {retry: {maxTry:3}}

Basic Usage example

var Redmine = require('promised-redmine');
var config = {
  host: "localhost", // required
  apiKey: "XXXXXX", // required
  pathPrefix: "/myRedminePath",
  protocol: "http",
  // if using SSL settings, change protocol and port accordingly
  sslCaCert: '/path/to/root/ca.pem', // defaults to null
  sslClientCert: '/path/to/client/cert.pem', // defaults to null
  sslClientKey: '/path/to/client/cert.key', // defaults to null
  sslClientPassphrase: 'clientKeyPassphrase' // defaults to null
}
var redmineApi = new Redmine(config);
redmineApi.getIssues()
  .success(function(issues){ // success is an alias of then without the promise rejection management in D.js the underlying promise library
    // do something with that
  })
